Breast Reduction Combined w/ Reconstruction for Cyst Removal?

Question

I Have Fibroid Cysts in Both Breasts, One Rather Large. I Want Removed. I have a cyst so large in my left breast that I would need reconstructive surgery if I have it removed. Its really painful sometimes and I'm considering having it removed, but I also want my breasts reduced because I've noticed my breasts are more painful since gaining weight in them. can I have a reduction as part of reconstructive surgery?

Robert W. Kessler, MD, FACS · Answer

Breasts cysts are removed with breast reductions on a routine basis. Your cysts are larger than the ordinary breast cysts and so some clarification will be required. Location and size of the cysts will determine the technique which will be needed to accomplish this for you.

Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to help you achieve the results you desire.

David Greenspun, MD, MSc · Answer

It is certainly possible to have a cyst removed and undergo reconstruction/reduction surgery at the same time. It is important that your surgeon know ahead of time that the cyst is just that- a cyst. Seeing a breast surgeon ahead of your planned plastic surgery procedure may be a good idea; in certain situations, a breast surgeon may want to biopsy one or more of the cysts/fibroanidomas ahead of surgery to be sure they are benign.

	When a large cyst is removed, a plastic surgeon can employ reconstructive techniques to help sculpt your breast into a normal shape and avoid deformities that can result from the removal of a large cyst.

See a BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON who will examine you and determine where are these fibroadenoma and cysts. Then the plastic surgeon can decide on the surgocal technique that will assure safety and success.

Yes is the easy answer but in your personal case I would recommend in person consults to discuss in detail. This is because you may need more than a reduction/reconstruction. Be careful to fully understand what is being done.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Removing a breast cyst while haveing a reduction is certainly possible. It reaally depends upon how large the cyst is, how large the breasts are, and where the cyst is in  relationship to the pedicle of breast that keeps the nipple alive.
